Handball: Pass, return, feint and go!

The defender is protecting the area between the 8-9 metre lines.

The attacking players work in small 2 vs 1s. The player with the ball plays a one-two pass and then attempts to feint their way past the defending player.

After the shot players rotate positions - with the shooter becoming the next defender and the defender joining the shooting players.

Players line  up a few meters behind the 7 meter line where a cone is placed on the floor.

The wide player (blue 2) passes the ball to the player waiting in line who then runs forward to the cone. When they reach the cone players should be slightly to the left or the right of the cone.

Before being allowed to shoot players must 'get past the cone' using an effective dummy, cutting around the other side of the cone before shooting.

variations :
- 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)
- 2 step or even in 1 step
- jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot
- jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

The first player passes to the middle player and then follows their pass.

The middle player holds the ball in their outstretched right hand.

The player following up their pass lands in front of middle player, takes the ball and makes a little step to the left before changing direction and running around the middle player before finally passing to the next player who repeats this drill.

The attacker in this drill should feint in an attempt to confuse the defender before passing the defender on their stronger (throwing) side, so for a right handed player this would be the attacker's right hand side, and shooting on goal.

If working with a large group have all your players run one at a time at the defender before shooting on goal, if working with smaller groups set up small 1 vs 1 drills.
